Chinese police today published a list of six militants, who were stated to be native Uyghurs.

Thailand bans Shakespeare by sagarmedia on April 6, 2012 Thai Ministry of Culture’s Office of Film and Video said that the film “undermines the unity of people in the country” and that the censorship committee had refused it permission to screen in Thailand. The committee was headed by Police Major General Anek Samplang. One of Shakespeare’s best-known plays, Macbeth portrays a Scottish general, aided by his wife and a coven of witches, assassinating the king and taking power. Shakespeare Must Die is set in a fictitious country and sees a popular politician use black magic to climb to power and violence to cling to it.
